This afternoon we received official confirmation of the lineup (so far) for next year's Soundwave festival... and it's completely kickarse! (I'm super excited! I think a little bit of wee just came out).

Headlining the bill are the legends of metal Iron Maiden (pictured), flying themselves out in their own private jumbo jet to crank it up to 13 and make our ears bleed.

Other massive acts tagging along include Queens of the Stone Age, Slash and Avenged Sevenfold... but there are just too many great acts to highlight in a separate paragraph - you're just gonna have to read the entire lineup below:

Iron Maiden - Slayer - Queens of the Stone Age - Primus - Slash - Social Distortion - Rob Zombie - Avenged Sevenfold - 30 Seconds To Mars - Stone Sour - Gang of Four - New Found Glory - Pennywise - Sum 41 - Annberlin - The Gaslight Anthem - Third Eye Blind - Devildriver - Sevendust - Less Than Jake - The Bronx - Monster - Magnet - Terror - MXPX - Protest The Hero - Melvins - 30 Crazyfists - Ill Nino - The Ataris - The Starting Line - Bayside - Madd Caddies - The Maine - Trash Talk - May Day Parade - Foxy - Shazam - Never Shout Never - The Blackout - Alesana - Asking Alexandria - All That Remains - High On Fire - Dommin - The Sword - Kylesa - A Skylit Drive - There For Tomorrow - Breathe Carolina - Taking Dawn - I See Stars - Rise To Remain - Nonpoint - Veara - Every Avenue

Soundwave makes it's way around the country in late February/early March in 2011. The Sydney Soundwave festival rocks our outer suburbs on Saturday, February 27 at the Eastern Creek International Raceway.
